My favorite restaurant – I had just moved to New York a few months before Pisticci opened, and I lived just around the corner, so this place is very near and dear to my heart. I remember being served free pasta and wine the night of the grand opening, and I've been back many times since then. I'm happy to see that they've added a little more space, and that they're thriving after three great years. Both the food and ambiance really do remind me of the little trattorias that I frequented while traveling in the remote parts of... read more

Great Neighborhood Joint – This place has simple, tasty Italian fare for a great price, and the place is small enough (even with its new extension) to feel like home. Drinks are served in jelly jars and a bowl of spaghetti is just $6.50! The signature iced tea, garlic bread, and tiramisu are amongst the best in the city.

Keep it a secret! – This place is great, i probably shouldn't be saying anything in fact but they have always been great to me and they will be great to you as well. It's a warm restaurant with delicious meals at fair prices. Don't miss out on the Matagliati or the Meatballs with Polenta, a true delight!

worth the trip uptown – Pisticci is not only a neighborhood favorite, but a place the whole upper west side should get familiar with. The food is wonderful, the specials are creative and make use of the best season items around. The fig salad is amazing, as is the homemade fettuccini with mushrooms and truffle oil. Their iced tea is beyond refreshing and the desserts are great. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Quality – Pisticci has a great little spot on the Upper West Side and for the most part is a quality restaurant where you can expect pretty standard pasta dishes and above average taste. I recommend the polenta over meatballs. The wait staff is a bit suspect, they kept coming back to the table asking what we ordered.

Comfortable place to dine. Wonderful food. Friendly staff. Outside seating. Small, but good use of space.

a welcome addition to the 'hood – West Harlem doesn't have many places for a 'going-out' meal, so Pisticci would be welcome enough even if they didn't serve delicious homemade pasta, inventive specialty dishes, delicious desserts, and tasty brunch food in a rustic-chic, cozy basement room that makes you forget the subway is thundering by a block away. add the restaurant's motto "paga poco mangia bene" (pay little, eat well) and you have an instant love affair....

Local – A dependable local institution, in an area that doesn't have much in the way of choice in Italian restaurants. Very friendly and welcoming. The food is pretty good, but the main point is that it's a pleasant, useful place to have around the corner. They even brought a free dessert for a birthday without us ordering it.
